Important Update: Happy Hour Pricing and Liquor Regulation Compliance

As many of you are aware, our Happy Hour draft beer was priced at $4.00 (including taxes) until April 15th.

Following a recent review of our pricing, the Board found that this rate did not meet the minimum pricing requirements set out in Policy Directive 14-15 by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. Specifically, the directive requires a minimum price of $0.25 per ounce before taxes. When factoring in the mandatory 15% tax for a 16-ounce glass, the absolute minimum compliant price is $4.60.

To ensure our club remains in good standing with our Liquor Primary License Regulations, the Board of Directors has decided to simplify our pricing by moving to a single rate for draft beer.

Effective immediately, draft beer will be available at our regular price of $4.75 (including taxes). As this rate is just above the provincial compliance threshold, it allows us to maintain the best possible value for our members while meeting all legal obligations.

We appreciate your understanding as we ensure the club stays fully compliant. We look forward to seeing you at the bar for a pint and some good company!
